Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone Movie Facts, Easter Eggs and hidden details

You can see a portrait of Anne Boleyn hanging in the staircase. Anne, a wife of Henry VIII, was accused of being a witch, and subsequently executed.

Sedicated to playing the role of Hermione Granger, Emma Watson actually wrote out sentences with ink, quill, and parchment during several scenes in the movie.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the cgi troll scene finished so late in post production that Daniel Radcliffe's voice got noticeably deeper by the time of his dub for the scene.

As an allusion to the book, in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), shown in the background is Aunt Petunia dyeing Dudley's old clothes for Harry's uniform. In the extended cut of the film, there is even an extra scene where Harry asks her about the clothes.

At the end of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, when Dumbledore tells Harry that Nicholas Flamel will die, the portrait in the background shows a nurse blows out a candle at the bedside of her patient.

When Harry goes to the zoo in the beginning you can see Slytherin(ish) students leaving the Reptile House.

Each house on Privet Drive had nearly identical 1998 Vauxall Vectras.

A group of students are seen exiting the Reptile House wearing green, a house color of Slytherin, whose sigil is a snake

I can't believe it took me 18 years to notice this...In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Harry's scar hurt not because of Snape, but because he was facing the back of Quirrell's head aka Voldemort.

Aunt Petunia is visible in the background of this scene dyeing Dudley's old clothes grey for Harry's uniform. This is only ever mentioned in the book.

Hermione points out that Ron has "dirt on [his] nose". Despite not being discussed till the second movie, this 'dirt' is residual soot from his Floo-powder trip to King's Cross station.

The reason Harry's conversation with the snake is understandable by the viewer is because it's a private conversation from Harry's perspective. In Chamber of Secrets, the conversation is Parseltongue because it's in front of a lot of students.

When Harry and Ron play Wizard's Chess, the Queen piece captures the opposing Knight piece. Later on, the Trio have to play a life-sized version of the game. Ron (as a Knight) sacrifices himself, being captured by the opposing Queen piece.

Harry's clothes are too big for him. They're hand-me-down's of Dudley's because the Dursley's wouldn't buy him his own clothes

And Home Alone (1990), both Harry and Kevin wear similar outfits. Both movies were directed by Chris Columbus.

First time I notice this but Snape has a subtle smile after Harry wins his first Quidditch game and he's safe after the spell on his broom.

. The Dursley's own the same exact car model as two of their neighbours.
